Rjman , are you feeling guilty after a certain visit from some Savile Row gentlemen?
I feel the same ..I have promised to my wife to get my priorities right and I already get some sartorial cold turkey...

Berluti have nice patinas... Kiton shoes look also gorgeous...
I do also like the Edward Green edwardian antiquing and some John Lobb colours..

Look this picture. I am sorry for the quality of the picture but I think it is one of the best antiquing in the world

Foster has in the shop some very old bespoke shoes with interesting antiquing on them....
One pair is from pre 1966...
The patina is beautiful..

Antiquing gets tacky fast.
